Kawahara, Tatsuya (J): Transcription system using automatic speech recognition for the Japanese parliament (Diet)
Abstract
The House of Representatives of the Japanese Parliament (Diet) is planning to introduce a new-generation transcription system, using automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies.  We have developed a speaker-independent ASR system, which can transcribe most of meetings with an accuracy of 85%.  The system adopts an open architecture based on an open-source ASR software Julius, which we have developed for more than 10 years, so the core modules such as a lexicon can be easily ported to other systems.  The post-editing software for correcting recognition errors and cleaning the verbatim transcripts is designed by stenographers.  The talk gives an overview of the transcription system, preceded by a brief review of the ASR technologies, and then reports the current status of the deployment and evaluations.

Keller, Gregor (D): Public relations - Why do the organisations in Intersteno have to advertise?
Abstract
Gute Öffentlichkeitsarbeit  ist weder Schönfärberei, noch Werbung. Unterschied zwischen Werbung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit. Warum müssen Organisationen Öffentlichkeitstarbeit betreiben. Was wir wie tun – das wird in der Öffentlichkeit bemerkt. Also auch was negativ geschieht. Unter Öffentlichkeitsarbeit verstehen wir heute etwas anders als unsere Väter und Großväter. Weltumspannende Kommunikation ist heute selbstverständlich. Moderne PR hat viele Sparten, von der Pressemeldung bis zum Fernsehspot. Medienarbeit. PR-Konzeption. Bezug zur Interstenoarbeit.

Yates, Karen (USA): Lessons learned: Practical experiences in online realtime education
Abstract
The National Court Reporters Association has been engaged in formal programs of support and certification of court reporting education programs for more than 20 years. In recent years, these efforts have included assisting a growing number of physical, “brick and mortar” schools to expand into online (distance learning) programs as well as assisting in the start-up of new, online-only programs.

NCRA is currently engaged in an intensive, online pilot training program, called Total Immersion, in which an entirely new writing theory and educational approach are being tested to determine if the length of time needed to train realtime writers in machine stenography. At the time of the Congress, the Total Immersion Pilot will be in month five of this experiment.

In this presentation, we will summarize our experience and success factors in supporting quality education standards, seeking government investment in realtime education, expansion into online training, and experience to date in the Total Immersion Pilot Project.

Gianni Lazzari (Co-authors:   Fabio Brugnara, Brian Martin) - FlyScribe: The world's first Transcription Portal based on voice recognition.

FlyScribe - the world’s first Web-based transcription service – was launched in 2008 to serve  the growing market for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Using the Transcribe™ ASR engine developed at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the service provides up to 95% accuracy for many fields, including government, journalism, medical, courts, and law offices. In fact, FlyScribe can introduce new recognition models for specialized topics in just days. Currently available for use with Italian, English, and Spanish, additional languages can be developed within a few months.
The service has introduced features that increase transcription accuracy and simplify revision. For example, FlyScribe transcription offers localization (regional data) and personalization (a list of words created by the user). Moreover, FlyScribe’s multichannel solution provides exceptional accuracy even with simultaneous speakers. And automatic punctuation is available for any language. Finally, FlyScribe’s proprietary XML format keeps audio and text synchronized while the user advances with a foot switch and works in a familiar word processing environment.
